Description
The Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider, often simply referred to as the Alfa Romeo Spider, is a legendary convertible sports car produced by Alfa Romeo from the 1960s to the early 1990s. The Duetto Spider specifically refers to the first generation of the Spider series, which gained widespread fame and recognition.
Introduced in 1966, the Duetto Spider was designed by the renowned Italian design firm Pininfarina and quickly became an iconic symbol of Italian automotive style. It gained significant popularity after its appearance in the 1967 film "The Graduate," where it was driven by the main character, played by Dustin Hoffman.
The Duetto Spider was characterized by its elegant and aerodynamic body design, featuring smooth, flowing lines, a long hood, and a distinctive rounded tail. Its design incorporated elements like the classic Alfa Romeo grille and a boat-tail rear end, which added to its unique appearance.
Under the hood, the Duetto Spider was powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine, delivering spirited performance and a thrilling driving experience. Its engine was paired with a manual transmission, providing engaging handling and agility, which contributed to its appeal among driving enthusiasts.
Over its production span, the Duetto Spider underwent several updates and changes, evolving its design and technology while retaining its classic styling cues. In the 1970s, Alfa Romeo introduced the "Kamm tail" version, which featured a squared-off rear end, departing from the original rounded styling.
The Spider series, including the Duetto, continued production with various iterations until the early 1990s, maintaining its status as an icon of Italian motoring throughout its lifespan.
The Duetto Spider remains highly regarded among collectors and enthusiasts for its timeless design, engaging driving dynamics, and its cultural significance as a symbol of Italian automotive excellence.

Pricing
At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.
As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
